    A little about JW's

    JellyJam says about Jehovah's Witnesses: Because they can't accept change or views outside of their own beliefs, makes them lousy friend's and companion's. That's because your views and beliefs and those like you have made yourselves friends to the world which is ruled by Satan, therefore you...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) John 1:1, 2 gives the heavenly name of the one who became Jesus, saying: “In the beginning the Word [Gr., Loʹgos] was, and the Word was...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Well as I said the scriptures say that Jesus is the firstborn of creation at Colossians 1:15 and that phrase, "firstborn of" was used at least 30 times in the scriptures before being used at Colossians 1:15 and every single time consistently when the phrase, "firstborn of" is being used...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    God's Only Begotten Son is just that, his Only Begotten Son. That means God's Only Begotten Son was the very first person and first of God's creations that was brought into existence. Everything and everyone else was created through and for God's Only Begotten Son. The Only Begotten Son is said...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Yes, this is an example of what I'm saying, you dare not keep this Scripture in context or do any kind of research that shows that Jesus was not in any way referring to the "I AM" in Exodus 3:14. Jesus spoke to those Jews, in the Hebrew of his day, not in Greek. How Jesus said John 8:58 to...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    I believe justbyfaith and others like him deny what the scriptures say about Jesus, because the scriptures say Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God. I believe Justbyfaith and others like him deny it's the Only Begotten Son of God who is the Word who was with God in the beginning; that...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    In the combined parables of Matthew 13:45-47, WE are the "pearl/treasure/field- of great price". Jesus is the "merchant man", who sold everything that HE OWNED, even His original state of Being, as revealed in John 1:1, 14. KJV- Mat. 13[44] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Justbyfaith said: Jesus did indeed raise Himself (John 10:17-18) No! Today Jesus is a powerful spiritual being who is immortal and is incorruptible. The scriptures show that after Jesus was resurrected he changed into different bodies when to talked to his Apostles and disciples. The...

    Easter question

    Show me pilgrim, in Scripture where does it say I should observe Christmas or Easter? There is a day and way that Jesus says to remember him, I certainly believe that the day and way that Jesus says to remember him is more important than the day and way imperfect men say we should member him.

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Earburner said: Did you want to think that God the Father GAVE His Son to us, for only the one day of His Crucifixion?[/Quote\] Jesus Christ who is the Only Begotten Son of God was sent to us not only to help us know his Father and God but was sent to us as a human being in the likeness of the...

    Yes it is true.

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    The context must be examined. Joh 2 Verses 13 to 18 show that Jesus had cleansed the literal temple at Jerusalem, routing from it those who were making it a place of merchandise, and as a result had been confronted with this question from the Jews: “What sign have you to show us, since you are...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Not today, but like I said if you or anyone else would rather use the KJV of the Bible that's fine, I have no problem with what version of the Bible a person chooses to use.

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Justbyfaith said : I am of the kjv-superior position when it comes to my choice of Bible translations. I hold the kjv to be the authoritative standard when there is any doubt concerning a controversy. If you have to go some other translation therefore, to make your point, you are not going to...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up: Only John records these words spoken by Jesus. As shown at Joh 2:21, Jesus was using figurative speech; he was comparing his anticipated death and resurrection to the demolition and reconstruction of the temple. Although Jesus said: “I...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    1 Peter 3:18, 19 Peter says, according to The New English Bible of 1961: “For Christ also died for our sins once for all. He, the just, suffered for the unjust, to bring us to God. In the body he was put to death; in the spirit he was brought to life. And in the spirit he went and made his...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Although the Greek word pneuʹma can refer to invisible spirit persons, the disciples were evidently using the term to refer to an apparition or a vision. Jesus showed the disciples his hands and feet and told them: “Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones just as you see...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    He was resurrected as a spiritual person as I said and the scriptures agree. If you read all the scriptures that talk of Jesus talking to his disciples after his resurrection he appeared to them with different bodies. The Apostles and his disciples didn't recognize him by his physical...

    Easter question

    The scriptures show us that The Only True God Jehovah never approved of his people taking what belongs to pagan gods or pagan religion and combine it with what belonged to him as regards true worship. Christmas and the things that are attached to it are of pagan design. Easter also is from pagan...
